In early 2012, with the emergence of the Utica and Marcellus Shale boom, Marketing Works formed Energy Marketers—a practice group powered by Marketing Works dedicated to the energy and peripheral industries. Led by industry veteran and award-winning journalist, Tom Matthews, this group has the industry knowledge necessary to develop well-informed education and advocacy campaigns on behalf of clients.

This experience in developing marketing communications strategies to reach the business community, consumers, policy makers and other stakeholders well positions Marketing Works to achieve objectives for your organization. In each instance, we’ve worked collaboratively with our clients to establish goals and objectives, identify key audiences, develop relevant messaging and create the strategies and tactics to achieve measurable results. Our approach leads to the adoption of a comprehensive program whose elements can range from advertising and marketing collateral to media relations, blogger and social media outreach, customer communications and lead generation, and expert positioning.
